General information

Short Summary
A Slovenian anodic oxidation company has a closed-loop system for leachate, where it is treated and returned to the process. The treatment produces an aluminium-rich waste sludge. As there is no generation and discharge of waste water from the closed circuit system, the sludge generated should not be treated with a waste number from waste group 19 of the list of wastes (e.g. 19 08 14), but with waste number 11 01 10 – the company is looking for an economically viable consignee.
Full Description
A Slovenian company is looking for a potential receiver of waste generated from the treatment of circulating leachate produced in the anodic oxidation (anodising) surface treatment process of aluminium. Circulating leachate is circulated within a closed-loop system, which is achieved by treating the spent leachate in a multi-stage process and then returning it to the process. The treatment phase produces sludge by neutralisation and filtration. As there is no generation and discharge of waste water from the closed-loop system, the sludge generated should not be treated with a waste number from Group 19 of the List of wastes (e.g. 19 08 14), but with waste number 11 01 10, even though it is a sludge that has the same chemical composition as the sludge from the treatment of the (same) leachate that would be discharged to water or sewerage after the treatment (neutralisation and filtering of the sludge).
The sludge in question has a high aluminium content. It is collected in metal containers with a capacity of up to 14 m3. The average dry matter content of the sludge is 40-60 %. Its annual volume is approximately 400 tonnes.
